Masterworks on Paper

Crown & Gavel LLC

This exceptional collection presents an exquisite survey of twentieth-century graphic art, bringing together works by the foremost figures of modernism and postwar innovation ? Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dal?, Andy Warhol, Henri Matisse, and their contemporaries. The group captures the evolution of printmaking as a vital medium of artistic expression, uniting etchings, lithographs, woodcuts, and silkscreens that reflect the aesthetic dynamism and experimentation of the modern era. Drawn from notable folios and limited editions such as Derri?re le Miroir, Toros y Toreros, La Divine Com?die, and Sunday B. Morning, these works exemplify the technical mastery and conceptual breadth of their creators. Picasso?s supple line and lyrical inventiveness find elegant expression in his heliogravures and lithographs, while Chagall?s dreamlike color harmonies evoke the poetics of memory and folklore. Dal??s surreal vision manifests in vibrant woodcuts illustrating Dante?s Inferno and Purgatorio, executed with the precision of Renaissance engraving yet animated by a distinctly modern imagination. Warhol?s Sunday B. Morning silkscreens channel the artist?s fascination with repetition and celebrity, transforming the print medium into an emblem of contemporary culture.
